@Deprecated
public class HttpInvokerServiceExporter
extends RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter
implements HttpRequestHandler

Servlet-API-based HTTP request handler that exports the specified service bean as HTTP invoker service endpoint, accessible via an HTTP invoker proxy.

Deserializes remote invocation objects and serializes remote invocation result objects. Uses Java serialization just like RMI, but provides the same ease of setup as Caucho's HTTP-based Hessian protocol.

HTTP invoker is the recommended protocol for Java-to-Java remoting. It is more powerful and more extensible than Hessian, at the expense of being tied to Java. Nevertheless, it is as easy to set up as Hessian, which is its main advantage compared to RMI.

WARNING: Be aware of vulnerabilities due to unsafe Java deserialization: Manipulated input streams could lead to unwanted code execution on the server during the deserialization step. As a consequence, do not expose HTTP invoker endpoints to untrusted clients but rather just between your own services. In general, we strongly recommend any other message format (e.g. JSON) instead.

Method Detail

handleRequest

public void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response)
                   throws ServletException,
                          IOException

Deprecated.

Reads a remote invocation from the request, executes it, and writes the remote invocation result to the response.

Specified by:

handleRequest in interface HttpRequestHandler

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

Throws:

ServletException - in case of general errors

IOException - in case of I/O errors

See Also:

readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest), RemoteInvocationBasedExporter.invokeAndCreateResult(org.springframework.remoting.support.RemoteInvocation, Object), writeRemoteInvocationResult(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, RemoteInvocationResult)

readRemoteInvocation

protected RemoteInvocation readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest request)
                                         throws IOException,
                                                ClassNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Read a RemoteInvocation from the given HTTP request.

Delegates to readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest, InputStream) with the servlet request's input stream.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

the RemoteInvocation object

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O failure

ClassNotFoundException - if thrown by deserialization

readRemoteInvocation

protected RemoteInvocation readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest request,
                                                InputStream is)
                                         throws IOException,
                                                ClassNotFoundException

Deprecated.

Deserialize a RemoteInvocation object from the given InputStream.

Gives decorateInputStream(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.io.InputStream) a chance to decorate the stream first (for example, for custom encryption or compression). Creates a CodebaseAwareObjectInputStream and calls RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter.doReadRemoteInvocation(java.io.ObjectInputStream) to actually read the object.

Can be overridden for custom serialization of the invocation.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

is - the InputStream to read from

Returns:

the RemoteInvocation object

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O failure

ClassNotFoundException - if thrown during deserialization

decorateInputStream

protected InputStream decorateInputStream(HttpServletRequest request,
                                          InputStream is)
                                   throws IOException

Deprecated.

Return the InputStream to use for reading remote invocations, potentially decorating the given original InputStream.

The default implementation returns the given stream as-is. Can be overridden, for example, for custom encryption or compression.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

is - the original InputStream

Returns:

the potentially decorated InputStream

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O failure

writeRemoteInvocationResult

protected void writeRemoteInvocationResult(HttpServletRequest request,
                                           HttpServletResponse response,
                                           RemoteInvocationResult result)
                                    throws IOException

Deprecated.

Write the given RemoteInvocationResult to the given HTTP response.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

result - the RemoteInvocationResult object

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O failure

writeRemoteInvocationResult

protected void writeRemoteInvocationResult(HttpServletRequest request,
                                           HttpServletResponse response,
                                           RemoteInvocationResult result,
                                           OutputStream os)
                                    throws IOException

Deprecated.

Serialize the given RemoteInvocation to the given OutputStream.

The default implementation gives decorateOutputStream(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, java.io.OutputStream) a chance to decorate the stream first (for example, for custom encryption or compression). Creates an ObjectOutputStream for the final stream and calls RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter.doWriteRemoteInvocationResult(org.springframework.remoting.support.RemoteInvocationResult, java.io.ObjectOutputStream) to actually write the object.

Can be overridden for custom serialization of the invocation.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

result - the RemoteInvocationResult object

os - the OutputStream to write to

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O failure

See Also:

decorateOutputStream

protected OutputStream decorateOutputStream(HttpServletRequest request,
                                            HttpServletResponse response,
                                            OutputStream os)
                                     throws IOException

Deprecated.

Return the OutputStream to use for writing remote invocation results, potentially decorating the given original OutputStream.

The default implementation returns the given stream as-is. Can be overridden, for example, for custom encryption or compression.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

os - the original OutputStream

Returns:

the potentially decorated OutputStream

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O failure
